[Hunan planned parenthood].

Hunan Province did well in planned parenthood last year. The province's natural population growth rate fell to below 10/1000 the lowest in recent years. In 1970 the rate was 21.65/1000. Some 2.15 million fewer babies were born in the 1970s than in the 1960s. According to comrades attending a provincial conference of planned parenthood office directors in Changsha on the eve of the spring festival, there will be a great increase in the numbers of young people of marriageable age in the next year or 2, due to the marriage age provisions of the new marriage law. Judging by the province's current population structure, the province will be facing a sustained upsurge of births in the next decade. Hence the task of advocating late marriage and controlling population growth remains very arduous.

[The increase in cohabitation: changes in related demographic behavior].

"The Dutch period- and age-specific hazard rates of marriages, cohabitation, [and] dissolution of cohabitation are studied. Also, family formation according to living arrangement of the mother is examined. The number of cohabiting persons has risen markedly.... Rates of direct marriage have declined.... The increased period of cohabitation is mainly linked with a delay in marriage among young cohabitors; it does, however, not coincide with a decreasing risk dissolution.... Fertility rates of married women have risen across the birth cohorts, while fertility rates of cohabiting women and women living without partner have remained fairly stable." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Understanding the proximate determinants of fertility of a Nigerian ethnic group.

"This paper uses data from a 1992/93 sample survey of 1,000 women aged 15-49 in selected areas of Imo State, Nigeria. The purpose of the survey was to get information/data on birth-spacing dynamics of the area. In this paper, we applied the basic Bongaarts model and its extended version to identify the proximate determinants of Igbo fertility. A total fertility rate [of] 6.7 births per woman is estimated from the model compared with a TFR of 7.26 actually observed from the survey. When compared with earlier studies, it is shown that the principal proximate determinant of fertility in the area is no more lactational infecundability, but delayed marriage. Explanations for this change, future research needs and policy implications are discussed." (SUMMARY IN ITA AND FRE)

[Addition to "Chen Muhua Speaks" at family planning meeting].

The following addition supplied from Beijing Renmin Ribao in Chinese of February 3, 1980 from page 1 should be made to the article "Chen Muhua, Bo Yibo Speak at Family Planning Meeting," published in the February 4 People's Republic of China Daily Report on page L2: Page L2, 1st paragraph, line 3: "...in due course, so that the total population of China will be controlled at about 1.2 billion by the end of this century, in order to insure greater and faster economic development in the country and improvements in the people's living standards, and to raise the cultural level of the Chinese nation." "Chen Muhua made this calculation: If young people marry at age 20, there will be 5 generations in a century; but if they marry at age 25, there will be only 4. The reduction by a whole generation of people is a matter of great importance in controlling population growth. Besides, in his prime a youth should be wholeheartedly devoted to his study and work in order to make greater contributions to the 4 modernizations. For this reason, for both the nation and the indivduals concerned it is profitable for citizens to delay marriages and childbirth and exercise birth control." She was speaking...

[Shaanxi population growth].

In 1980, the natural population growth rate in Shaanxi declined to 7.19/1000. This was the best result since the launching of planned parenthood work in the province. The annual population increase declined from 570,000 in the early 1970s to 200,000 in 1980. In Tongchuan and Xian Municipalities and Hanzhong Prefecture, the population growth rate declined to 6/1000 while the rate in Weinan and Shangluo Prefectures declined to 7/1000. The party and CYL members have actively responded to the calls of the party Central Committee and State Council to spontaneously promote late marriage and late childbearing. Some 458,000 couples in the province have taken out single-child certificates. In the countryside throughout Shaanxi, 7100 young couples have settled in households where there are only daughters.
